Plan Description

Race Rockford Strong: Your Blueprint to Half Distance Triathlon Success

The Half Distance Triathlon in Rockford, Illinois offers a unique race-day experience—starting with a 1.2-mile downriver swim in the Rock River, followed by a 56-mile ride through Rockton Township’s rolling hills, and finishing with a scenic two-loop 13.1-mile run along the riverbanks and downtown. To perform your best on this course, you need more than just motivation—you need a proven training strategy built for mature athletes with serious goals.

The Competitive Masters 40+ Six-Month Half Distance Triathlon Training Plan is designed specifically for athletes over 40 who want to race smarter, stronger, and faster.
